Leaked PS3 And Madden 11 Bundle From Best Buy!

It looks like Best Buy can’t keep a secret either! The image above was leaked and it features a hefty 250GB HDD PlayStation 3 bundled with a copy of Madden NFL 11.

There’s a PSP Madden 11 bundle also in the works, which has been officially announced. Expect a similar announcement from EA Sports and/or Sony soon on this bundle, if they plan on selling these things and not just stacking ’em in retailer warehouses.

Mortal Kombat Still Bloody As Ever!

Mortal kombat has essentially made the game fighting genre. This always popular and always extremely gory game has managed to captivate audiences across a broad spectrum with the arcade titles and movie adaptations. And now its back!

This new game should be setting the standard again for all fighting game developers to be looking up to for inspiration, since this has stood the test of time quite well.

Look to game informer magazine for more information.

New Red Dead Redemption Maps Invade Consoles Next Week!

Eight characters from Red Dead Revolver will be marching into Red Dead Redemption next week in the Legends and Killers Pack, bringing with them nine new multiplayer map locations and one angry-looking tomahawk. Wait! A tomahawk!!? Oh this is going to be gooood hehe (EVIL LAUGH)!

The Legends and Killers Pack hits on August 10 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, costing fans only $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points. You know you want to kill somebody with that tomahawk!

Portable Dead Space Games Too!?

It’s that outer space horror game that we’ve all come to know and love on the PS3 and Xbox 360. We’ve known for months that sci-fi horror game Dead Space 2 is coming to home consoles and computers early next year. Now, it appears that Electronic Arts confirms handheld and mobile versions are in the works and are slated for release next year as well.

If EA isn’t in the business of putting typos in its quarterly press releases about company financial performance, then we can expect a Dead Space 2 portable game in early 2011. So which platform will it be, well I don’t know but it sounds pretty sweet.

Here is how the listing appears. “Q4” indicates EA’s fourth fiscal quarter, which runs from New Year’s Day to March 31.

Dance Dance Revolution Coming To PS3?

Dance Dance Revolution Coming to PS3:

Yes that dance game that dance enthusiasts loved to play on the ps2 we all know you did so don’t lie. Well anyway, Konami posted the image of the fat PS3, which leads me to believe that this has been under wraps and in development for some time now on their facebook page. Along the page they posted, “we’re bringing DDR to the PS3.” My guess is you won’t have to wait much longer to get your groves back on!
